If the heat die off has only effected those at the lower levels of the food web I wouldn't like to be high up in it. There's a chance we'll see increased competition among higher level organisms leading to the depletion of th

I think there's certainly a difference. With spanking you are trying to affect the thought processes that lead to bad behaviour (condition them) with violence. Implicitly showing the child it's ok to use violence to get what you w

Yes I agree. Some reasons for reduced access to credit are smaller loans which fixed costs dig deeper into, shorter loans which entail a lower duration of interest, and the higher risk of default. Conventional credit would rather not touch

To clarify the supply and demand argument was merely describing their abundance in these communities not arguing against their predatory behaviour. By insinuating they are predatory you imply they are taking advantage of the consumers. If t

"What’s more, consumer advocates point to studies that show Black and Latino communities are disproportionately targeted by providers of high-cost loans. In Johnson’s home state of Michigan, areas that are more than a quarter Black and

You're right for the short term but (in the hypothetical case it becomes deadlier) once we are aware it has becomes deadlier, our behaviour will change and reduce transmission.

I'm not sure how right this is but I was told it's to do with time dilation. If you're moving close to the speed of light, stuff that isn't is experiencing way more time than you. As light isn't affected by time dil

They didn't, the air was never contested. The fighting happened within Azerbaijan's borders so air superiority was already assured. The only threat to the drones were SAMs that were incredibly ineffective. (Possibly due to age or

Armenian forces tried to fight conventionally in open terrain against an enemy who had air superiority and fared like every other force that's done the same. In other breaking news - clickbait titles are the future of journalism.

Say thanks. Even if you disagree with the point being made it's always insightful to hear another point of view. Whether the insight is regarding the point itself or why others hold this different point of view. Discourse is one of our

Presumably if your swab comes back as positive for the virus you'll be notified. It seems to me someone could pseudo test a friend or family member by sending their swab instead.

Did you read the previous comments? I wrote two (I think) of the words in my comment, the rest were written by the person I was replying to about someone deciding not to have children.

I think you just accurately described most of North Korea's cyber attacks. Not to say that they are the culprit; just that state sponsored and and money driven aren't necessarily exclusive.
